After the lectures from the last two modules on intermediate sanctions and probation, and reading the article from the Miami Harold (Links to an external site.) about Florida’s prison crowding situation- what do you think the best way to deal with Florida’s overcrowded correctional system is? Should we build a new prison to keep up with the increase in inmates? Should we let inmates already incarcerated out earlier through use of parole? Should we avoid putting more people in prison in the first place by expanding parole? Should we use some other form or combination of intermediate sanctions?
Explain what you think the best solution is and why? Be sure to acknowledge the limitations or potential downside of whatever you choose. Note- there is no right/wrong answer.
